Blending 90s alternative rock, modern acoustic pop, and elemental rhythmic grooves, Michael McFarland’s EP A Failed Breakup showcases the Asheville, North Carolina singer/songwriter’s range. McFarland assembles a tightly crafted song cycle relating the tale of how his attempts to end a romantic relationship weren’t meant to be. A Failed Breakup captures the essence of McFarland’s stripped-down live acoustic performances while delivering a polished studio recording. Intimate lyrical word pictures are layered on top of irrepressible melodic hooks, delivered with rock & roll fervor, to relate how McFarland discovered that some stories aren’t meant to end.
